Big Poplar Sept 1-5, 2022. My husband and I were married on Sept 4th, 1992. We stayed here 30 years ago so we wanted to revisit because we loved the seclusion and the tranquility of the river right out back. We were so excited to be back. The cabin was just like I remembered. I was somewhat disappointed. I would think after 30 years they could take a little money and do some updates. Keeping the cabins nice will keep people coming back. My husband went to raise the lid on the hot tub " I said, wonder if it is the same red hot tub." Yes, it was. The red has been bleached out white from chemicals and several gobs of putty was on the interior to obviously patch for leaks. We did not get in it. Everything from eye level down in the cabin was fairly clean but if you look up there are layers of dust on the logs and cob webs everywhere. Standing in the shower and I look up to rinse my hair the logs were filthy with dust and cob webs. We packed food because we did not want to go out we wanted to chill at the cabin. A pot holder would have been nice!!! Also, the carpet in the 2 bedrooms down stairs definitely needs pulled out. It also was filthy with stains on it. Looks pretty gross. I would love to come back here but, I don't know if we will or not. Its a shame because I absolutely love this cabin.

Love love loved coming here for our honeymoon! It was directly on the water so every morning was beautiful to look out! It was a cute little place and would definitely recommend! Only things we didn't love were the electrical sockets were loose so whatever we plugged in in our room fell out of we moved it. We also thought there was a fire pit and got there to learn there wasn't one.

My husband and I booked the Swinging Vine cabin for this weekend to get away from all of life's daily stress and to celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary. The cabin was very clean. Sitting right along the river with a hot tub on the deck makes for a very relaxing environment. The water was good...much better than chlorinated city water. Sleeping was just like being at home because the mattress is firm and supportive just like our own bed at home. If you don't like firm mattresses, then like the host recommends prior to your stay, bring a mattress topper. We felt it was perfect as is.
The cabin is conveniently located near local attractions as well as stores and restaurants. The location was easy to find with the instructions that were sent to us prior to arriving. We have had an amazing experience here and felt the need to leave a five star review, because all too often people are quick to give reviews that are negative. We definitely plan to come back again. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed our stay at Cheat River Lodge. The room was clean, nice and cozy. My pups also enjoyed it.
We also enjoyed sitting on the deck enjoying the view of the Cheat River, absolutely beautiful.
But I do have two constructive criticism suggestions. I believe they need a better water filtration system. The tap water smells bad and is full of minerals also tastes bad as well. There is virtually no place for the pups to go potty, Which made it a bit difficult.

We had a lovely family vacation 8/31-9/6. We stayed in the Poplar cabin. The beds were comfortable and our cabin was very tidy. This property is naturally beautiful and secluded. We were able to tube right from our backyard. The hot tub is well maintained and. checked daily. The staff.is very friendly and helpful. This is not a Hilton Hotel, so if you are expecting that this is not the place for you however if you love the outdoors, want to get away and stay in a clean, comfortable cabin that has been well loved then this is the place for you. We look forward to returning!!!

We stayed at the Rhododendron cabin for a weekend fishing getaway on March 25-27, 2016. Check in was easy as I had received an email to tell me what to do should the store be closed when we arrived. When we pulled in to the cabin the maintenance man was there and introduced himself as such, and returned the next day to gather our trash. Each contact I have had with any of the Cheat River Lodge Staff has been very positive. The cabin itself met all of our needs. There were directions for the hot tub posted which we didn't use but they were very easy to follow. The beds were comfortable, and all linens were clean. We had fresh towels in the bathroom and when they came for our garbage the second day we were provided with more towels. My son is a fly fisherman so the ease of the river access was very good and suited our needs perfectly. I was able to prepare all of our meals right in the cabin with all kitchen accommodations adequately provided. It was a clean kitchen to cook in and all pots and pan and utensils were clean. I loved that they provided the dish soap as I seem to always forget to pack it. Though it is not city water, I never had trouble with the water pressure and our showers were always hot. There was cable TV provided in the cabin so when we were ready to stay in for the evening it provided entertainment. We have already talked about a return trip. Though we didn't catch fish that weekend, we are ready to try again. I would definitely recommend the Cheat River Lodge and especially the Rhododendron cabin! The Moores definitely had a great trip!

I enjoyed our stay at the swinging vine cabin on the Cheat River. I sometimes dread traveling, just due to my own nervousness about cleanliness. The mattresses in both rooms could use an update, but only because you sink in the middle. The cabin was clean and well stocked with pretty much everything you may need as far as kitchen items. Remember to bring paper towel, and salt and pepper. They provide coffee, but not even enough if you are a big coffee drinker. Housekeeping provided clean towels, soap and toilet paper everyday of our stay. If you are looking for a relaxing stay this would be great. The one thing I didn't understand was the policy on having to send the funds via certified check for 50 % of your stay total. You would think in this day and age it would be an easier process.

Stayed at the Treehouse. Considering this is a hotel lodging, this particular cabin felt surprisingly private and tucked away in the trees. There is a partial view of the river, and the sound of it is absolutely tranquil. Use of the hot tub and fireplace is very seamless. Furnishings are pretty average, and we got by just fine with the kitchenware. Also enjoyed the deck, grill and views from the living room.
